Long time, no amazing recipe! This is about to change my friends! Get ready! This is going to be fabulous!!

Those cookies sure look fantastic, but I wanna talk about the cake balls!

Here's what you need:

1 Box Red Velvet cake mix (or any... by the way if your house smells like chocolate as you bake it, it's because Red Velvet Cake is actually Devil's Food Cake with red dye. Juuuust so ya know.)
1 Can Cream Cheese frosting
1 or 2 Packages of almond bark (you can use regular chocolate or white chocolate - and I say 1 or 2 because I ran out with just 1.)
Optional: Sprinkles

And here's what you do:

1. Bake cake as directions on the box say to.
2. Let cake cool for a bit, but while it is still warm, crumble it up in a big bowl.
3. Add the cream cheese frosting and mix it all up really well.
4. ****VERY IMPORTANT**** Stick the cake mixture into the FREEZER for about an hour. I stuck it in the fridge for like 2 and it didn't do very well... do it in the freezer if you can!
5. Melt your almond bark in the microwave or whatever... just do what the package says.
6. Take your mixture out and make little balls... I used a measuring spoon (tablespoon I think) to scoop it out and then rolled it into a ball.
7. Dip the cake balls into the melted almond bark. I used a Pampered chef egg separator. It worked pretty well for me. Some people use tooth picks or skewers.
8. If you're using sprinkles, make sure you apply them before the coating hardens!
Voila! You have cake balls and they are fantastic.
Perfect for the holidays! Make some friends or family really happy!

I am not a cook.

I do not claim to be Betty Crocker at all. In fact, I never really liked cooking until very recently. I am a 23-year-old wife and stay at home mommy. I'm trying to get myself more into cooking. You should probably proceed with caution if I ever say I made this up. Just so ya know.

You'll probably see more baked goods than cooked goods here. This blog is set up for my personal stash of recipes, and as motivation to get in that kitchen more often!
